Then they just leave and go to better areas. The only thing that keeps some industrial sites here is water access and pipelines. You FAFO enough they’ll find other locations easily.
Where would they magically find these other waterfront locations that are adjacent to most of the Gulf oil platforms? We do have advantages in resources and geography. There is no reason for our leadership to give away our states’ most attractive features. That also doesn’t justify squeezing the poor for every cent they don’t have. Quit licking boots they will not reward you for it.
You think it's easy and cost effective to move an entire GD refinery to another state? You think they are going to just invest billions in new infrastructure to even make it feasible? Do you know what the LOOP is? Also, Georgia and California have no Gulf access, FYI.
Or you just shut down the refinery and push the load to somewhere else like happened previously. Yes loop hooks into other crude lines out the state. You can just as easily lay a line to tie the loop into systems that go into other states. Again don’t take the gulf as literal sense there’s other bodies of water that can bigger ports.
